WABA Fun Launches Arc-a-Teks Line of Building Characters

Loveland, Colorado - January 1, 2010 - WABA Fun, LLC, has announced that it will debut the new Superstructs™ Arc-a-Teks® at the American International Toy Fair, February 14-17, 2010, in New York at Jacob Javits Center Booth 1043. Superstructs are the vibrant plastic rod and connector style construction toys that feature safe, durable EVA foam panels that 'pop' between the rods and joints. Each theme-based set includes characters and accessories that add personality to the sets, as well as extend the post-construction play.

Arc-a-Teks Building Characters
Arc-a-Teks are fun and adorable collectible character sets with a compelling story. The first series, due to release Summer 2010, consist of three sets (Earth, Sky and Sea) and six characters. Each set includes 40-42 pieces, enough to build two complete Arc-a-Teks characters simultaneously and collector cards that reveal the Arc-a-Tek's name, details and a secret code to unlock additional Arc-a-Teks online. Kids can also use the web site to learn more about the history of the Arc-a-Teks and their muse-like influence on many of Earth's own famous designers and inventors

Like all our Superstructs sets, the Arc-a-Teks line is flexible and open-ended, allowing kids to combine pieces from any set for endless building options. For ages 3+; SRP: $11.95.

The Arc-a-Teks® Story
Prior to their near-extinction, the Arcatopians sent Zig-Zag, their most talented master builder to the planet Earth to preserve the crafts and artistry of master-building as well as to help humanity to build its character.

Since then, future generations of Arc-a-Teks have helped us to develop our skills as builders and to create great cities. They have steered us from loose bands of nomads into great societies. And it is because of Arc-a-Teks that mankind has progressed in its character and begun its quest to be true shepherds of the Earth.

But there is still much work to be done...
